The samurai at Eagle Pass are being overrun. Kenji and his men are en route to reinforce the position before the line collapses.
House Kintsugi has retaken Frostpine Valley after a dawn countercharge. Forward scouts report the area is secure for now.
A demon battlegroup has been sighted advancing toward the Southern Ridge. Command recommends immediate repositioning to avoid encirclement.
Sakura's unit has engaged enemy forces near Ironroot Crossing. Early reports indicate heavy resistance and mounting pressure.
Kaito's strike team destroyed a demon forward outpost and reclaimed the shattered wardstone. The path is open, but enemy patrols remain active.
Aid House Kintsugi in reclaiming the land. Each day, your rituals help take back territory from the demon armies.
The wards are weakening. Spirit-fire leaks through fractured stone. Your assaults hasten the collapse.
The Aquarius Shrine was among the first to break.
When the Demon Age began, the assault came in midwinter. The ravine froze solid, the river choked beneath ice, and the shrine's wards—never meant to endure sustained pressure—were shattered by brute force. Demon vanguards advanced through the blizzard, breaking stone and seal alike, turning the shrine into a frozen stronghold.
Those who would reclaim it must prepare their bodies before they ever reach the gate.
Warriors assigned to the Aquarius assault deliberately expose themselves to the cold in the weeks leading up to January—walking through winter air, training with numbed limbs, steadying breath as the body resists. Only those who have learned to function while frozen can survive the approach.
The assault is relentless. Ice burns the lungs. Steel bites slower. Fatigue comes faster.
But January offers a narrow window.
Each disciplined strike weakens the frozen stronghold. Each completed repair restores a fragment of the shrine's shattered ward.
Breach the stronghold. Seal the gate. Repair the shrine. Deny the demons this cycle.

When you were first assigned your quarters, the mask was already there, resting on the desk as if it had always belonged in the room. No one could say who left it behind.
The person who first brought you to your room said it was a kintsugi mask. You remembered reading that kintsugi was the practice of repairing what is broken with gold, not to hide the damage, but to reinforce it. Once mended, such pieces are often stronger than before they fractured.
The cracks in the mask catch the light, and you think for a moment about how beautiful they are. You can't imagine the mask without them.

The Fallen Scout's Legacy
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken items using lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum.
Instead of hiding damage, the repaired seams are made visible, making them stronger and more beautiful than before.
When the demons invaded, the world was broken.
House Kintsugi exists to repair it.
Stand with House Kintsugi and rebuild what was broken.
